Star Watchman was written by Ben Bova was published by Holt Rinehart Winston in 1964. This is a first edition/first printing signed by Ben Bova . The book is signed by Ben Bova at Bubonican in 2010 to me in person. The book is unread in in Fine Condition. This is the true first edition and not a library book. The DJ is also in Fine condition with slight wear to top of DJ and corners (see pictures) and clipped bottom front flap otherwise no other noted issues. Rare to find a 1st/1st that is not a library book and even rarer to find a signed copy. Low starting price.

Emil Vorgens, a Junior Officer of the Star Watch, the Empire's interstellar military force is sent to the small planet of Shinar to cope with the rebellious activities of an impetuous young liberal leader. Emil is caught between his desire to see a peaceful solution to the revolt, and his duty to obey the ranking officer, who insists on force.
